towards president obama. so that's why governor romney is so focused on ohio and for president obama, his campaign thinks on they can keep romney out of ohio, if they can deny romney ohio he cannot get to the president. that's why you're seeing bothnk candidate there is so much. but one more fast pneint and tht is that both -- all of these states are pretty much three or four point states. look at the map as a to where president obamatond governor romney aregoing to in the final days. that list of sevenar or eight states, they're almost all competitive under five points so while it does narrowly favor president obama right now, keep in mind, these are all very competitive states, three, four points. >> woodruff: and, margaret, to that point and the point you were making a minute ago,hat is it that the obama folks feel they need to do in these final days? >> if today is a road map for the next few days, what they feel they need to do is return to the high ground, so th speak. today you did not here a lot of ro
